From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Double Olympic champion Mo Farah will target a fifth straight victory in the Bupa London 10k road race on 27 May, event organisers have announced.

Farah has been an ever-present in the event since it started in 2008, finishing third in the inaugural race and then winning four in a row, setting British records in 2009 and 2010.

His main threat should come from Scott Overall who was third in the race 12 months ago.
